Today the Planet Venus begins to rise ahead of the Sun. It will assume for a time the configuration and the character of the Morning Star. Early risers who look East to the horizon will behold her in the hour before the Sun makes its appearance.
In Greek mythology, Hesperus is the Evening Star, the planet Venus in the evening, and the brother of Eosphorus (also called Phosphorus, and Lucifer), the Morning Star.
In this phase of her journey through the sky Venus is said to evoke the more assertive facets of the feminine, so assertive in fact that the Mayan culture associated this Venusian phase with war. Venus as Morning Star is eager, spontaneous, resilient, and open to new experiences.
Although the significance of this celestial event differs for each person depending upon their personal horoscope, in general it signifies a surge forward in the primal force of eros-desire, which individuals can channel into creativity in art, love and finance — matters of value and aesthetics.
